We took a tour behind the magic at the company’s Burbank, Calif., studios. This is what we saw.
Before Disneyland was built in Anaheim, there was a proposed Disney theme park in Burbank where the current studio lot now stands.
The spot is now home to ABC Television and Walt Disney Animation.

Roy E. Disney’s (Walt’s nephew) former office was actually located INSIDE the Sorcerer’s Hat in the present day animation building.
The building, The Roy E. Disney Animation Building, is named after him as well.

The specially made multiplane camera used to shoot classic films like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Pinocchio, is HUMONGOUS.
Only three of these cameras still exist, the other two are on display at The Walt Disney Family Museum and Walt Disney Studios Park in Disneyland Paris.

The streets at the studio are appropriately named.
While Mickey Ave and Dopey Drive are actual streets located on the lot, they don't lead to the buildings or locations they point toward.
